BTW, I have been genuinely shocked at how well the offense has grown even when Coop/Kyrie are not on the floor.
I will say one thing from the early returns and that is May could be the greatest of the Mavs coaches ever IF he develops a Rick Carlisle like in-bound play repertoire.
One of the best ways Rick scored to break a scoring drought was to call a timeout and run a set play from S-OB or BL-OB. Rick rarely called timeouts 92 feet away from the basket.
I think May has done an exceptional job in getting an offense installed and a better job at building team culture. Better than Rick and J-Kidd. I don't necessarily see the sets that get buckets when the game grinds down, but there are signs he has the tools to direct in this setting as well.
